Looks like your shop light is working well! lol why gloves? The water can be quite cold and I do most cabs and things without a dop stick. I get cut and nicked all the time. Protects from cold water and my finger tips from being ground down so much. This has a dop stick though.

Here's a piece of smaragdite I got because it had white spots all over it. Showed it to jamesp and he thought it would look killer inside. Well, here's what the inside looks like BLUE! This is the outside wet. It looks green and white when dry Inside end cut:

Love the blue broseph82! I have seen that before and I know I collected a few pieces that I hoped would be blue when cut. I'm going to have to start digging through material to see if I can find it again. Post pictures after you cab or guage (right word for the ear plugs?) some of it!

Yeah I cut a thinner slab so I can cab. Plugs come later. I was so shocked!

Sounds like a tale of modern. No fun being pursued by your lady's Daddy with a posse of paint faces. Shame the warrior didn't escape w/his passion. He should have taken lessons from ole Don Quixote.

But to be PC, we need to refer to her as the Curvy Lady

Maybe full-figured lady? Ann, despite what jamesp says, judging from your avatar, I don't think you are a blonde. What in the hell is wrong with him? Um, and James, no blond jokes, please. Some of us resemble that! Was thinking about Jamesp last night, watched "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Ha! Great Nicholson movie!
